Alex Albu updated BEANUTILS-263: -------------------------------- Attachment: ClassConverter.java.patch.txt Here's a possible implementation of the described behavior. > Improve ClassConverter robustness > --------------------------------- > > Key: BEANUTILS-263 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEANUTILS-263 > Project: Commons BeanUtils > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: ConvertUtils & Converters > Affects Versions: 1.7.0 > Reporter: Alex Albu > Priority: Minor > Attachments: ClassConverter.java.patch.txt > > > To load a class by name, ClassConverter attempts to use (in order) the > current thread's context class loader and the class loader that loaded the > class itself. But in my opinion it is a little inconsistent in the way it > does it. Basically, it will use the second class loader as a fallback *only* > if the first one (context class loader) is not set (null). That causes the > converter to fail in environments where the context class loader is set but > does not have access to the class it's trying to load (Weblogic 9.2 is an > example). > I think a more robust behavior would be to try the second class loader *any* > time using the context one fails (be it because it's not set, or it cannot > load the class for some reason). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
